Sorry, I'm Nobody's Second Choice

Bastard Jessica of Halloway endured cage abuse as a child. Vale Pack's Johan saved her; she sacrificed her shifting power to heal his silver poisoning, only for him to credit her perfume work to Suzette and choose the rival. Reborn, she exposes them at the launch. Surviving violent assaults and a warehouse fire, she is saved by William, the Dark Soul Healer she once pleaded to. Bound by blood, he avenges her, while Johan begins to suspect she lives.
